Where to Find Thanksgiving in London in 2012

Howdy there, Pilgrims! It’s time for another round-up of Thanksgiving dinners in London if you’re making an international relocation to London from the US in time for the holiday.

I’ve blogged before about how I, as a fellow American expat living here, have been able to find the traditional fixin’s for a Thanksgiving meal (like Stove Top stuffing and pumpkin pie) at the South Kensington Partridges in London (there’s another in Chelsea on the King’s Road, and the American Food Store is alternative located in Holland Park). That helped me out with my quick-n-dirty attempts at the feast when more formal meal plans had to be scrapped at the last-minute. It’s also tougher to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner given limited time constraints if you and your spouse or partner both have jobs in London, as we for obvious reasons don’t get the day off here in the UK. Unless you’re planning to use one of your vacation days to do it, that’ll be a real challenge to stuff the bird in the oven in time. Luckily, you’ll have Whole Foods at your disposal (the world’s largest one is located on London’s Kensington High Street), as they offer an American Thanksgiving menu that will prepare you entire meal, bodda-boom-bodda-bing.

If you’re not inclined to either cook or have to wash dishes, though, there are plenty of London venues that usually serve up a Thanksgiving feast or near-enough equivalent. So let’s gives thanks to the following if they’re continuing to do so this year (be sure to confirm with them in case they don’t specifically display their Thanksgiving menu on their website):

The Hilton London Olympia on Kensington High Street will be hosting a Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday 22 November from 6-10:30 pm. The price is £25 for adults or £12.50 for children aged 2-11. You can call Society Restaurant directly to book at 0207 856 1980. The menu will include butternut squash soup with brie, roast turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, yams, green beans, cranberry sauce, gravy and pumpkin pie with your choice of tea or coffee. Also:

We welcome comments here if you know of any other restaurants hosting Thanksgiving this year! And even if you’re not relocating before Thanksgiving this year, at least you know that it does exist here if you know where to find it. In the meantime, the Relocation agency is thankful that you’re here checking out our site right now and would love to chat with you about finding your apartment—a new home for spending the holidays here. 🙂
